I'm quite amazed at how active a crayfish is. I guess I was warped by all the lobsters I see in tanks up here into thinking they were slow and didn't move much. Never occurred to me that she (I think it's a she) would start climbing the fake plants. :)

Also strange to see little crayfish footprints. All the pics I've seen were gravel, and I' have sand in the tank.
 
Does it have a name? Or is that something experienced fishkeepers don't do? I have a tendency to get attached, maybe I should stop naming my fish, shrimps and plants. Hehehe, all of my ghost shrimps are named Pierre after the French shrimp in Finding Nemo.
 
If you get a chance to go scuba diving and see lobster out in the ocean they are a really cool thing to watch. In the open sandy areas they move really fast and then stop to try and attack you, very funny.
 
The only lobster I see are destined for my plate :)

And I think I'm calling it "Lobster" cause that's what my three year old named it :)

Is there a difference between crayfish and crawfish?

Nope, just a dialect thing. Crawfish started in the Bayou, I believe.

Bascially, just little lobsters. :)
 
Around here we call then crawdads. They're not very tasty though.
